Oscar Nominations & Awards Show

[U2isthebest]

Nowhere near as shocking as a montage of cars flying through the air and exploding, that's for sure.

When I saw clips of High School Musical in an Oscar montage, I had to check and make sure I was in the correct dimension.

Slumdog Overkill ftl.

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

probably because Disney forces him to pretend to be dating that girl.

I'd look that way too if I was forced to spend time with vanessa whatshertxtingingnakedpictures.

It's kinda baffling they are still "together."

*cough*Not that I watched a pop-up video style version of HSM 2 or anything*cough*

Benjamin Button should get Best Film but noooooo

 

[Lancemc]

Yeah, honestly, I'm not really upset Slumdog is sweeping (aside from the fact we're getting a sweep at all; it makes for boring television), as it's just a terrible year for movies anyway. It's no Crash, that's for damn sure.

this has probably been discussed, but doesn't it look like this is a high school gymnasium and everyone's on folding chairs?

 

[U2isthebest]

Heeeeeeeey kids, it's Oskar Schindler!

i'm in theory doing work (i.e., writing) and i told myself i wouldn't get involved. this thread just seemed so daunting. but now ...

i will say at the outset that i adore everything about Slumdog. and while this is boring as shit, i am happy that a movie i like and is of very high quality is getting awards.

the big acting awards should be interesting. Meryl or Kate? Sean or Mickey?

that's the only suspense we've got.

I've been studying for midterms all weekend but figured I deserved four hours off to be snarky with fellow interferencers.

Glad you're joining us for the last stretch.

Oooh, hello, Liam.

 

[Babydoll]

Oooooooh Frieda's dress is prettttyyyyyy

Well done, John Galliano!

 

[Irvine511]

It's no Crash, that's for damn sure.

i still get upset. to this day.

 

[LMP]

WOW.

No Class or Waltz? Biggest surprise so far.

Oooh, hello, Liam.

i enjoyed him kicking ass in the super-reactionary "Taken," which i read should have been titled, "Not Without My Daughter's Hymen Intact." and it should have been.

Hey man, the economy's really really bad and Hollywood had to even pare things down a bit.

Brad and Angie made their babysitter work for peanuts.

I'm convinced the Academy just throws darts at a board in deciding foreign language awards.

But Fuck yes! Another Japanese speech!

 

[Babydoll]

Sank you to the akademi, I'm beri beri happi!

 

[Irvine511]

WOW.

No Class or Waltz? Biggest surprise so far.

[Lancemc]

Sank yoo, pensal.

Sank you.

JAI HO.

 

[Lancemc]

Revanche is supposedly phenomenal. I'm looking forward to seeing that one.

The Class looks bland as all get-out.

 

[LMP]

these are the next two movies on my list.

Those and Che are the 3 from last year I'm really compelled to see.

I just like him cause apparently he's hung like a horse.

 

[U2isthebest]

I am so frickin' excited for Spielberg's biopic of Lincoln with Liam as the man himself. I'm hereby making a prediction: Liam Neeson will win Best Actor in 2012.

 

[bonoz]

Gran Torino!

 

[U2isthebest]

Gran Torino!

Uh, it's not nominated for anything.

Hopefully the world won't end before then.

Gran Torino!

What?

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

It's no Crash, that's for damn sure.

Or Shakespeare in Love. I'm still pissed about that one as well. But Crash, yeah, that was bogus.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Sank you.

JAI HO.

Ok I officially need sleep soon.

I'm giggling uncontrollably at this post.

It's been a long weekend.

Chicago, anyone?
